NFL December is rigorous. As for the Vikings, the stakes get higher with four
games remaining. The next three opponents of the Vikings are contenders in the
NFC playoff picture.

Even if it is secure for the Vikings’ own playoff hopes, there’s more work left
to do. The teams are fighing for their lives to be in the playoffs.

The best competition in the league for the Vikings is the Giants, beacuse they
are the only team to defeat the Vikings in 12 games this season. The Giants,
have been one of the hotter teams in the NFL, racking up six wins in their last
seven games. It is a steep challenge for the Vikings to beat the Giants. If the
Giants win, the Vikings will be prevented from clinching the NFC East.

As for the Vikings, their physicality translates well to a long way to
accomplish their goals in December.
